Tom Osborne: Nebraska's hire of Scott Frost saved school's home sellout streak

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Former Nebraska Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne said Scott Frost's arrival as coach has "lifted the mood of the entire state" and he thinks the Cornhuskers' hallowed streak of 361 home sellouts -- an NCAA record -- would have ended had Frost not returned to his alma mater.

Osborne is spot on. I was giving mine up if we didn't get rid of the Ginger and RiLLLLLLLLey.

 

[OH HSKR FAN]

Having a lame home schedule did not help either.

Good article except Missouri won that 1962 game 16-7, not Nebraska.

Osborne said Frost's return has "heightened my engagement and level of interest."

Yeah, it saved a lot more than that....ad revenue, gear sales, night life.

It wouldn't be the off season without a sellout streak thread.

if i turn in my season tickets 5 seconds before the first game starts, does the sellout streak end?

No they have sellout streak insurance for this exact situation. So if you turn in your tickets the geico gecko comes personally to purchase them before the game starts.

What @Zacharias said about the gecko is nonsense so don't listen to him or the sellout streak could end.  If you turn them in to me I have a way to make sure it doesn't end the sellout streak.

Give them to Flo from Progressive?

It's certainly interesting. He went from giving up his skybox to now attending practices with regularity and coming to the athletic department every week. He may have said giving up the skybox was for the AD to realize some revenue because he wasn't doing anything specific for the department, but, I have a feeling he wouldn't have given it up if Frost had been the coach.

I'm not criticizing. It just goes to show the difference in people when they feel like something is heading in a strong direction.

Hmmm... didn't you pay for them back in March or April? 

I am accepting all tickets for those who want to turn in their tickets. DM me for more details.

Don't do it!  Every time a fan cancels their tickets, Vals adds an extra layer of grease to their pizza at Memorial.  Think of the old people!!
